... to converts inputs and outputs into the independent variables. As a return to scale is variable, a modified envelopment input-oriented BCC model applied to obtain the efficiency of organization units. Also, all units of organization are ranked. Eventually, sensitivity analysis performed to show how input...

...Shahrooz Fathi Ajirlo; Alireza Amirteimoori; Sohrab Kordrostami Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a modified model in multi-stage processes when there are intermediate measures between the stages and in this sense, the new efficiency scores are more accurate. Conventional data...
